This is a waste of money. We do not require a paramilitary force morphed out of our Police Dept. We precluded military forces a century ago with the Posse Comitatus Act from performing law enforcement duties. It was inappropriate then, and is inappropriate now. This is right in there with the Chief talking about the 'mean' streets of Santa Barbara. It sounds more like Reno 911.

An incredible waste of effort and money. It is just not worth it. We won't get any safer communities. We will have a much larger operational budget with it. It's time to end the law-enforcement/corrections cabal.
